EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Neogene history of the Amazon and the role Andean uplift and marine incursions
Carina Hoorn, University of Amsterdam
This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.
About this seminar: The Amazon hosts one of the largest and richest rainforests in the world and has a history going back to the beginning of the Cenozoic (66 Ma). Species richness was mainly driven by climate and geological forces in combination with edaphic and biotic factors. Here I will review the Neogene history and past species composition in the Amazon in the light of Andean uplift, plate-mantle interaction, climate and environmental change, and marine incursions.
